Honestly, my first thought when these popped up was "footprints everywhere," so that kinda zaps it for me. That said, the left 50% of the second shot looks very interesting, if cropped portrait. The zig zag ridge of the dune leads the eye straight up from below and into the mountains way out yonder. Very interesting texture and light. The contrast tweak is powerful.

Hi Larry,

I prefer the second one. Beautiful contrast and light. Where ware those taken ? The sand looks quite on the "heavy" side.

Thanks.. The second one has me down on my knees with a 24mm lens to get a close-up look at the sand. These were in the early morning at Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes after a very, very rare light rain. It gets a lot of traffic in the winter time because it is cool enough for people and families to walk out quite a ways..

Here's one after an hour hike in the middle of summer at 7 am with temperatures climbing past 90 already.... You need a lot of water and are pretty much alone.

I like the top ones but the one from summer at 7 am is really awesome. A lot of great shapes and lines.

Yep!

I can't say which one I prefer between 2 and 3.
I really like how seemless the transition seems to be between sand and rocks in the third one.

Something I have never seen in Africa.

Love that last one, Larry.
